PDP party members inEdo Statehave usedGovernor Adams Oshiomhole‘s misbehaviour to their advantage.
Days after thegovernor abused a poor widowfor hawking illegally inBenin city, an endowment fund has been set up for theoppressed widow.
The woman in the video has been invited toPDP secretariatinBenin cityto collect250,000 nairain order to relieve her of pain.
Here is an official letter from Edo state Peoples Democratic Party:
PDP ENDOWMENT FUND FOR OPPRESSED WIDOW
Edo PDP watched with consternation Governor Adams Oshiomhole’s brutal, inhuman and merciless treatment of a widow street-trader whose wares he ordered seized and who he unfeelingly told to ‘…go and die’ even as she knelt down in fervent protestations and appeals to his pity on a helpless widow.
The governor’s actions are appalling, insensate, disgraceful, indecent, cruel and below board. It is clear that he does not care much about the well being of the people as he pretentiously avowed. Our hearts go to that hapless widow in this her time of travails and through her, to other widows who have been oppressed by the unfriendly policies of the administration in Edo State.
The PDP, Edo State will not let any Edo person ‘to go and die’ if it can help it, especially not hardworking people like that widow who are engaged in lawful enterprises that are, in themselves, not easy to carry on.
To this end, our party has instituted an endowment fund for all widows and oppressed people in the state and by this release, we invite the widow captured in the video of the encounter with Governor Oshiomhole to come to the PDP Secretariat on No. 70, Sapele Road, at 11am on Tuesday December 3, 2013 to receive a first-installment sum of N250,000.00 to cushion the pain, trauma and loss occasioned by her mistreatment and the seizure of the items she sells.
Governance is about the people and as a responsible National Institution, Edo PDP cannot be unconcerned about the wrong treatment of indigenes of the state to whom the present administration promised heaven just to win their votes. We will continue to stand in the gap to ensure that Edo people are deservedly fairly treatment
If Governor Oshiomhole believes that Edo People sinned by voting him into office, let him remember that he will account for his actions, if not to the people because he apparently does not think much of them, but to God Almighty in the short or long run.
We thank all those who have been humanely concerned about the plight of the widow and have stood out vehemently against the crying shame that was the insensitive action of a governor who seems bent on repaying electoral favor with ingratitude.
Signed.
Chief Dan Osi Orbih
Chairman, PDP
Edo State.

As expected, the issue has been politicised.

Its a good thing that the issue is being politicised in a positive way although the motives may not be pure but at least the poor widows would benefit from it & won't be abandoned to 'go and die'

All this half baked journalists.. Mere looking at what you wrote and how you wrote it then obviously it is a poo

Ok people are miss understanding what happened here already and trying to capitalise on it. The governor was basically asking the woman if she wanted to kill herself, that is what the governor meant by 'go and die'. Its a metaphor to a person that is selling items in the middle of the road not considering her own safety.
The action of the governor is based on love for the safety of this woman. What would you do when you see your child playing with electricity? you will first beat the child mercilessly because you will want him to remember it so not to do it again.
We tend to have short memory in this country, few weeks ago a trailer killed two people in lagos when it lost its brake and tried to avoid a convoy but face the plebs instead accident can happen at anytime.

What am I saying you will even get angry when she tells you she is a widow with children and not making a good choice at her age

People deceiving people will always condone insanity. Non of the state control by pdp has safety law in place. They all rule their states like animals, like monkeys.
Its ok to be an opposition to a government but you have to the right place to attack and the right materials to attack with. Choosing this issue tells us alot about the people in this party, they are telling us how clueless they are about what it means to govern. So buying and selling in the middle of the road have now become a normal thing to do ?

Adams fumble totally .... Never in his life to tell someone to go and die

Dey are mad joo
